My cactus (I believe it to be a Mammillaria elongata or something close to it) was unfortunately painted in the spines there are news ones growing in and I was wondering if there was anyway I could get the paint off
A deflated pincushion cactus could be caused by underwatering, overwatering, improper soil, temperature stress, pests, or sunburn. To address the issue, water deeply only when the soil is dry, ensure proper drainage with cactus mix, maintain a stable temperature, check for pests, and gradually increase light exposure if needed.
LECA is a growing medium made from clay pellets that are heated until they expand. It's often used for hydroponics and indoor plants, as it provides good drainage, aeration, and helps prevent root rot by reducing overwatering.
hi. I have a question. I grow roomplants. Most of them are succulents. The location is at a northwest window. In theory this is a bad location because of the lagg of light. They get about 4 hours of sunlight during summer and weak light during winter. I try to not fertilize them from oktober till april and only water them 5 to 6 times during this time which actually is a good solution and makes most of them grow ordinary. If some of them do grow long leaves to find light I turn them so they grow evenly and if necessesary cut them. I cant stop watering them completly because temperatures only change about 5 degress celcius in my room over the year which is about 40 degress fahrenheit. I am looking for as succulent that can bloom under these conditions. If anybody has an idea let me know.
Hi. There're many conditions to encourage the succulent blooming. We have a blog to sum up some information about this topic, maybe you want to take a look and hope it can help 😉 succulentsbox.com/blogs/blog/succulent-flowers-101
